HEwITT's "PEsTILENCB."


What formed for US our nations name,
And carved it on the scroll of fame,
And kept it all these years the same?
Huett's "pestilence."
What fixed lot of Boston tea,
And raised an everlasting spree,
And set this glorious country free'
Huett's "pestilence."
What hustled, not so very slow,
When something allied old Mexico.
And laid the frisky Greasers low?
Huett's "pestilence."
What said the Union should not die?
What kept our banner waving high,
Beneath loyal, Union sky?
Huett's "pestllence."
What beat the Rebel stars and bars,
Hurled back the thunderbolts Of Mars,
And saved our Union Stripes and Stars:
Huett's "pestilence."
And if again the sullen roar
OF war should come, as thrice before,
God grant we may have plenty more
OF that same "pestilence."

PIG TAIL ALLEY.
Down by the City Hall,
Elegantly and stately,
Where the fragrant feeder lies,
Purifying greatly;
Down by the fierce canal,
Where chickens sally,
Lies that mighty boulevard
Pig Tail Alley.
When they put those little signs
Onto every crossing
Made them out Of colored glass
With some white enclosing,
Found they had one sign too few
Number didn't tally;
They'd forgot to mark one sign
pig Tail Alley"
There's q lovely city hall,
High and grand and lofty,
On this stately avenue,
slushy, wet, and softly
Here our city council rooms,
Where our fathers rally,
Grace that classic boulevard,
Pig Tail Alley.
sweetly on the summer breeze
Comes the fragrant story
or the fair ambrosial scent
And our eity's glory,
For our stately council hall,
Where our beard doth rally,
Fronts upon that noble strand,
Pig Tail Alley.
When doth our council meet,
Dignified and massive,
Still lies this avenue,
Fragrant, calm and passive.
There do the aldermen
To their duties sally
March in solemn Injuu-file
Down Pig Tail Alley.
Down by the City Hall,
Silent, calm and passive,
Where our city fathers meet
Intellects so massive;
Down by the fierce canal,
Where chickens sally,
Lies that classic boulevard,
Pig Tail Alley.

Hoist with Their Own Petard

WAsHINGToN, May 9.-Judge Merrick
in the District Supreme Court in general
term to-day announced the Judgment of
that court in the case of the District of
Coulumbia against Hennick. the BaltI-
more drummer, charged with being an
unlicensed commercial drummer. The
act imposing the tax was passed by the
old District Legisla ture under the au-
thority. it was claimed. of Congress.
The court dismissd Hennick. holding
that the tax on drummers from other
States is a regulation of commerce be-
tween such States and the District of
Columbia, and that such tax can be inn
posed by Congress alone. The court held.
however. that the act is applicable tn
District merchants and drummers.
This decision in a boomerang to the
trainers of the law in a. much as they
intended that it should have just the OPP

and Alabama Boom.
NEW YORK, May 9.-President Alfred

Terminal Company, who has just re-
turned from a trip over the roads form
ing that system, says: Il went over some
of our South Carolina lines, East Ten
nessee roads and the Georgia Pacific.
1 found them all in very good condition
and great boom down there in real es-
tate snd mining interests. There is a
lull in Birmingham real estate sales, but
there Is very large amount of building
going on. There seems to be a remark
able amount of enterprise manifested
in the South, especially in Alabama and
East Tennessee, developing the natural
resources of the country. While real es-
tate speculation may have been over
done at some points, still many localities
have yet to feel the effect of the enter
prise and improvements going on. There
is no question but that the newly devel-
oped manufacturing interests of the
South are upon permanent basis, and
believe that Georgia, Alabama and Ten
nessee will add fifty per cent. to their
material wealth in the next five years"
